We have come full circle because this is exactly how blackpink would sit and react to performances back in the day

Why do I feel like if I reply to this post, I'm in big trouble? Seems like bait.

By who? Btw, I'm just a casual listener of LE SSERAFIM, but they are clearly among the biggest ggs right now as well

That's just domestic success though which LE SSERAFIM also have?

They also have the 2 biggest 4th gen songs of 2025 globally as well

I would look like that too if I was actually talented and was being forced to sit through that dogshit performance. Be serious and leave the kpop expectations toxicity that you claim to hate out of this thread. They aren't the ones on stage nobody should care.

Now why the Hearts2Hearts childrens knows Jay Park's lyrics, I can understand for the boygroups but I didn't know they got down like that.

My MMA 2025 review (for groups and idols I stan):

• KiiiiKii: confused by the lack of energy at the beginning but they brought it by the end for dancing alone.

• Hearts2Hearts: highlight of the show. They did great!

• Illit: didn't really like the outfits but cute performance nonetheless

• IVE: amazing as always

• Jennie: beautiful gowns

• Aespa: hate the outfits but they chewed.

• Allday project: I've been tolerating this group since their debut simply because of Youngseo but it's getting harder and harder. Everybody looking ridiculous except for her. And Tarzan looking ridiculous as ever in his bulletproof vest.

Once again, people not realising LSRF's streams being heavily benefitted by HYBE's massive payola and autoplay

Just imagine Wendy getting those payola and autoplay, her songs will automatically be a 300mil+ streams on Spotify

oh but they can be the leader of bad music, congrats!!

My thing with Jennie is that there's so much pomp and circumstance and she's relying on the pedigree of her name, but that won't last. She needs to learn how to perform. The girl was already tired and slumming it 2 minutes in. And she does this because her fans excuse her lack of stamina and her performance behavior.

Like I always see glimpses of greatness and then it's gone in a blink (no pun intended).

Oh, SEXSELLES

I know you guys dislike LE SSERAFIM or whatever, but the way y'all constantly snub them out of the 4th gen gg leader conversations makes no sense

Once HYBE came under fire for fraudulent sales and they couldn't buy back albums, their real popularity was revealed:

Crazy - 825,191

HOT - 730,420

Spaghetti - 572,568

HYBE has given them excellent Spotify stats, but it's no different than YG buying excellent YT stats for BabyMonster. LSF are fifth for popularity in 4th gen which is still great, but they're not fighting Aespa, IVE and NJZ for first.

I still can't believe they gave Liz that ridiculous high pitched pre-chorus squeal for Attitude, but IVE killed this performance nonetheless. They have really become excellent performers.

True but this has always been the case with popular groups.
When a group does a concept and becomes popular, other companies want the success and try to do the same.

Taking that into account, what we need is a group to do a sexy concept and smash so others follow.

fromis_9 ate this cover UP. We need them to branch out in the sophisticated sexy concept.

Dirty work being aespa's best song this year…. SM needs to lock in for thier next comeback.

Would y'all judge me if I got moist every time I watched a performance of this song?

They needed to let the girlies breathe for a year. 2026 they'll complete their trinity of career hits to join Supernova + Whiplash.

Me reading the Blind Items

This A list K-pop singer has impregnated three different women this year. The two that were in girl groups were forced to get abortions and then replaced. The fan who got pregnant was trickier and a lot of money was given to the parents of the fan, but not the fan herself who is legal. 

The PR team of one member of the foreign A list K-pop band is trying to spread rumors about another member because they need to distract the attention from the ex girlfriend who actually uploaded a photo from a hospital bed.

The fact that I remember Jimin ex girlfriend posting from a hospital bed... WAIT A MINUTE.

WINTER WAS A SCAPEGOAT ALL ALONG.

It's definitely an NCT reject, like I can almost hear Taeyong in it.

I need to see Exols pretending to love this after trashing NCT for years.

Good luck getting exol to acknowledge it or this failed attempt at a comeback at all

Got time to check out MAMA25. Has it always been that bad or was 2025 an off year? Jesus.

OT5 EXO looks so good. The choreo looks great with only 5 members and there's no more visual hole. A win. Now SM better give them great title track.

I feel like in Korea, they are definitely behind aespa, IVE and Blackpink right now. Those 3 are like the most popular in Korea right now. But globally, LESSERAFIM is definitely in the Top 3 with Blackpink and Twice.
